Best Electric Repair in Oakland CA

Updating my previous review because Kenneth Asire were practice in resolving the issue and honorable in pricing. I recommend them.

This is my first time writing a review on Yelp. But felt that I needed to share my story and how Joel (the owner) and his technician, Fren went above and beyond the call of duty.  My 7 y/o was playing dress up with my wedding ring (unbeknownst to me) on Sunday and accidentally flushed it! Didn't tell me the truth until last night. Atlas Plumbing came this morning and used a long hose with a camera attached to look for my ring...but nothing.  Joel suggested that he would go in the manhole down the street and see if he could find it. (I think he felt bad how distraught I looked) He said the chances were very dismal. I must be doing something good...because he found it!! OMG!! Last night were tears of sadness and now my tears are of happiness!! Want to thank Atlas Plumbing & Rooter so much for finding my wedding ring! It's such a great feeling when you get OUTSTANDING service!

We needed some solution towards issues with allergies , forced heat air when it is cold and didn't appreciate cold floors.  So, we found this company!   We had our home installed with heated floors.  It was the best decision ever!

We had warm floors installed throughout the first floor of our home.  Not only did it provide energy efficiency, it provides comfort  throughout those really cold months. When we turn on our heater, we don't experience hot air blowing to our faces anymore.  It's comfortable and toasty inside while it is freezing cold outside.  In fact, I am able to wear shorts and tank top inside the home because of how comfortable the temperature is.  The warmth also goes up to the 2nd floor!

Service was great!  They answered all our questions and assisted with whatever we wanted to know.  It is a great long term investment plus definitely adds value to your home!  I definitely recommend this company for your heated floors installation. It was the best investment!

Gil was reliable and helper fixed the leak at home. He was cost effective and highly reliable.

I am the current owner of Allied HERS Testing.  The first time we tested one of Joey's installs he overheard us talking about the current record holder for the Duct Leakage Diagnostic tests we perform.  Under the current 2016 California State Energy Code Title 24 Section 6 a newly installed heating and ductwork project must be tested to verify it is only leaking equal to or less than 5%.  While the majority of the systems we test pass just under the 5% mark Joey's system passed easily that day (Please note that the United States has some of the strictest code guidelines for HVAC system installations worldwide and California has the strictest guidelines within the U.S.).  A couple of months passed and we received another request to test one of his installs. Upon arriving Joey had a big smile on his face and seemed eager to see the results.  His furnace and all new ductwork installation tested at 1.34% leakage!  It is our longest running record!  This goes to show the quality of work and pride Joey has...

Excellent service in replacing our water heater in a timely manner. Responsive to follow up questions. Took responsibility for minor carpet stains from old, rusted heater unit. Would recommend and will definitely use again.

Rey Lacayo has flaked on scheduled appointments with us more than once. This morning we had an appointment to fix a semi-emergency plumbing problem (kitchen drain pipe busted, with out-of-town relatives due to arrive any minute). Not only did he not show up at the scheduled time, he didn't even call to tell us he couldn't make it.

Lacayo Colt Plumbing has done acceptable work for us in the past, but because of their lack of dependability, we will be looking for another plumber.

Installed a water for us.  Everything went very well from start to finish.  The price was reasonable and the guys who installed it were great.  Recommended!

Ted is not only a super cool dude, he is very thorough and reliable. He does his work quickly and most efficiently without skimping on quality. We hired Ted to come by and fix our janky light fixture that was placed by our homes previous owner, and all I can say is that I wish Ted was hired for that job in the very beginning!

Extra 10 stars for his co-worker, Kiwi!

Had our garbage disposal replaced. Work  was done expediently, good responsiveness on Yelp - would definitely recommend

I had the best experience with Daniel Tseyref! He was extremely helpful dealing with problems with my shower and he took the time to answer all my questions and make sure everything worked properly. Super professional. I am so thankful that they are in charge of helping at my property.

Yevgeny is amazing! I was a bit weary at first because his price was a little higher than other quotes, but you get what you pay for...and he was worth every penny!

My house had an electrical fire, and needed emergency service. Yevgeny was the only one (out of at least five other electrician companies all of whom had high ratings on Yelp) to respond in a timely manner, and follow through with everything that he said he would. I am beyond pleased.

Highly recommended!

Israr was very quick to respond to my inquiry.I'd definitely recommend Mr. Khan's services to anyone who's looking for an honest and professional plumber.

Poor communication skills, unprofessional, and argumentative when the work that was done was less than adequate. Unprepared with bringing parts to make repair and returning and installing a used part the next day for a hot water heater gauge and when it had complications with remaining lit, told property manager that it was tampered with upon being confronted became argumentative. Brought his child with him and continually sent the child back and forth to get him tools from the van. Upon leaving had to return because he was not certain he tightened the hoses and knobs. The over all quality of work was less then zero stars. We have informed the property managers to not resend this company back for repairs in the future due to the confrontational attitude and lack of professionalism.

Carlos was awesome! He handily took care of our bathroom leaks and replaced our toilet (which he went out and shopped for himself). He also gave us great free advice about the state of our bathroom and what needed to be remodeled. We'll definitely be calling him again.

We had a catastrophic sump pump failure on Friday morning and we called probably 20 plumbers and emergency water evacuation companies.  Mike at Night & Weekend diverted a plumber over to our house immediately and they replaced the sump pump immediately.  They also gave me a very reasonable estimate to complete the construction repair as well since the water had damaged  a bedroom all the floors needed to be replaced.  It was a horrible event made much less horrible thanks to Mike and his team.  THANKS!!!!!

I had to change faucet in my bathroom as the old one was leaking. I set out to do it myself but soon figured I need professional help.

Requested quotes from multiple plumbers on yelp. Infinity plumbing was fast with responding and came up with the lowest quote and were also available the next day! I was able to book an appointment over messages and the whole process was seamless.

Carlos came on time and replaced the faucet for me. He was professional and did a great job. Will certainly consider infinity plumbing next time!

Liked the online scheduling and ample weekend appointment slots. At 9:30 am on an 8 to 10 am window, the office called to let me know the status and the tech would be out by 10:10. Nice touch, appreciated the status update.

Fred M arrived at 9:50 and was great. Clued me in about a $50 voucher available on Yelp. Efficient to troubleshoot a problem that turned out to be more complex. Good communication about the estimate and work plan.

I have some very straightforward things to fix (e.g. faucet swap out, flush mechanism not working in the toilet) that are enough for less 2 hours of work and could not get a rate per hour or cost at all over the phone.   They will come out for $95 and then tell you what the cost is then.  This is ridiculous.  Waste $95 to find out they will charge $300 an hour? Or $150?  They will apply the $95 as a credit but you still don't know what you are signing up for.  They certainly have a standard cost list somewhere but would not tell me anything.

If they don't want the small ticket plumbing jobs they should say so upfront instead of playing games.

I had an issue with my upstairs furnace and called Supreme.  Akita came by and did an excellent job diagnosing the issue.  He noticed my furnace blower was not working because the control board was burnt out.

So he said the diagnosis was $85 but with the new control board (which should be about $200 - $300 he said) the total installation and diagnosis fee would be $225.  So all in I thought $500 and was OK with that.

He then sent me an invoice from Johnstone Supply in Oakland for an ICM2807 Control Board which was $573 with tax.  I thought this was real high so checked on Amazon and found it for $160.  Akita told me he would not install any online items because they were not guaranteed so I said I would buy it and install it myself because that price difference was just too high.  Akita called me back and said he changed his mind and would install it.  So the unit came and Akita came over and attempted to install it.  It was the wrong unit.

What I really needed was the ICM282A which apparently Johnstone Supply knew but put the wrong item number on the invoice.  In retrospect I think this is a total scam and they do that so people can't buy THE RIGHT and perfectly good unit from Amazon.  So I returned the ICM2807 for free on Amazon and ordered the ICM282A for $121.  I ordered it Prime 2 Day and it showed up in 5 days and Amazon gave it to me for FREE!!!  I couldn't believe this and that's why I love everything about Amazon.

I was pissed the invoice had the wrong part number on it and Akita said I didn't tell you to order that one.  I said c'mon man - it was on the invoice and I didn't feel I had to check your and Johnstone Supply's work as you are the experts.  That was our only disagreement but I agreed to pay Akita for the second visit which was a waste of my time.

Rather than setting up an appointment with Akita again I just installed it myself and paid Akita $185 for his time.

So I spent $185 and have a perfectly working furnace instead of spending $800.

I'm giving Akita 4 stars because he absolutely knows what he is doing  but I really didn't like the quote and the wrong invoice - even Berkeley Supply had this unit for $299.  Somebody is ripping somebody off.
